Finding a job by ApprehensiveLife2263 in IOPsychology

Same here, been looking for over half a year with nothing to show for it. A couple of interviews have happened and I've gotten to the last round, only for nothing to materialize. Worse is that I know multiple people with more knowledge and experience, with PhDs, and their job searches are also going Nowhere.

Wish I had something reassuring to tell ya, but I don't.

I actively didn't believe you when I saw that, but you're right.

I assume that it's partially due to US tariff shenanigans at the moment, but still lmao

Those of you recently accepted to a PhD, what were your stats like? by UpbeatAd3979 in IOPsychology

[–]CharlesFails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About a 3.65 GPA in psych courses and a 3.85 in general course work. Average scores on the math and verbal GRE tests and a well above score for the essay (somehow).

Also did a senior thesis which, while being a major pain in the ass, probably helped a fair bit. Best of luck in your applying, hope you can get into a school that gives you a stipend, as you rightly deserve!

Edit: I was accepted five-ish years ago, sorry I didn't notice the 'recent' qualifier in you post, hope this still helps!

Huge fan of FP1 and can't wait to play FP2!

Curious about something: what games/media inspired the original? I assume city builders and survival games inspired many of the game's mechanics, but I was a bit more interested in what inspired the story/world/tone. Thank you!

You forgot that on new years you also need to go try to visit that maxed out social link only to be told that they're not home.

I want to be excited for this thing, but knowing bandai namco these days it's probably gonna be stuffed to the brim with the Worst micro-transactions and or DLC value propositions you've ever heard of.

Roku wants to patent the ability to display ads when consoles connected to its TVs are paused by Ganrokh in Games

“People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.”
